This report was prepared for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Planning by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center). Egan Smith was FHWA project manager. William M. Lyons was the Volpe project manager, and James Andrew and Logan Nash were the lead researchers and authors, all of the Transportation Planning Division. Mr. Lyons also manages Volpe Center research on best practices in transportation planning for the FHWA Office of Planning.
At the time of this research, FHWA and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) were finalizing formal guidelines for MAP-21 Performance Based Planning and Programming (PBPP) and Performance Management requirements through the rulemaking process. This report and other technical assistance resources focus on assisting Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and their planning partners to create effective performance-based planning frameworks-the overall intent of the new legislation-rather than on specific legislative requirements. This report and supporting resources benefit from the experience of MPOs and DOTs that are developing performance-based approaches, some of whom began development before the passage of MAP-21.
This report and other FHWA resources related to performance based planning, including companion case studies for MPOs serving major metropolitan areas and DOTs, are available at: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/performance_based_planning/ and the FHWA-FTA Transportation Planning Capacity Building website (http://www.planning.dot.gov/). The views expressed in this report are those of the research team and not necessarily the USDOT, the FHWA, the Volpe Center, or MPO contacts.
The research team thanks Egan Smith for his guidance and support in developing this report. The team also thanks FHWA reviewers and staff from the following MPOs and their partners who generously contributed insights to development of this report:
Peter Keating; Michele Boomhower (Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission)
David Wessel (Flagstaff MPO)
Jerri Bohard; Erik Havig; Philip Kase (Oregon Department of Transportation)
Jasmine Harris; Satvinder Sandhu (FHWA Oregon Division)
Dan Moore; Jonathan David (Rogue Valley Council of Governments)
Cindy Mueller (Texas Department of Transportation)
Sarah Rhodes; Wood Hudson (Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission)
